This article is another violently upsetting dissappointment it what is hopefully the short reign of Patty Ritchie as State Senator. Her platform, her campaign and all of her support was over the STAR Rebate program and now in an interview her staff is saying "so what, its their fault" and the money's not in the budget. Bullshit! its not your money to have in the budget. These rebate checks are the people's money, the earners and property owners who break their backs to live in the 17th highest taxed county in the Nation, its not simply ok to say politically we can't do this right now.
In the Fall, every time I heard Patty speak in person it was about the STAR rebates that I wouldn't receive, again, if Darrell was reelected. Every piece of mail or ad on the TV said that if he went back to rpresent me in Albany I again would not be getting my hard earned money back from the State government. His idea was supposedly to not tax you according to some complicated rate that I'm sure would have loopholed me out or something, I couldn't understand it, it wasn't across the boards money back and it didn't pass anyway. And Patty's idea was let's just go back to that old thing people liked, the one where we gave them their money back, you know the money they earned. Except now her staff is saying that they don't have the money to give and maybe in the future, and Will Barclay is sayign "the program had problems" well why didn't we do that new one then? Why are we giving up and saying fuck it, I guess we can't do STAR, let's talk about gay marriage until no one hasd a job anymore?
This has to go back to being issue #1 for Patty Ritchie, she was a taxpayer advocate, this and her corrupt staff are making her look like a useless government advocate and if it looks like a duck guess what? ITS A FUCKING DUCK.

Don't Abuse the System for Personal Gain
I was upset to read this article this morning: http://www.valleynewsonline.com/viewnews.php?newsid=86774&id=1. If you didn't read it, it's about how the county government has been wrongly using parking permits that the city gave them. According to the article they are only suposed to be used by legislators during the meetings so they can get down to business without interuption. And of course it turns out that someone over there decided to just give the permits out to everyone in the building.
This is unfair to every person who gets ticketed by that miserable metermaid for parking 5 minutes too long at the library or downtown and has to pay the $50 fine or whatever it is. This is the type of screw it to the taxpayer nonsense I expect from the public unions and party bosses that run our county government, but not what I would expect from commonsense taxpayer advocate number one Patty Ritchie and her fine staff. It shocks me to the bone that someone that we have put so much faith in to cut the corruption at taxpayer expense, who ran as a TRUE Conservative and was endorsed by the conservative AND Taxpayer parties would allow her employees to abuse our trust like this. Government employees shouldnt be exempt from the rules the should be held to the rules under the strictest standards be cause they are the ones who make them.
How can we trust Patty Ritchie to now to stand up for the little guy small business owner when she is looking the other way while the City hammers us down with fees and fines while her own staff is running around doing as they please. Did she hire these people from the party boss hierarchy that built a system on the backs of the taxpayers to profit themselves. I'm certainly no democrat, but no conservative in this county has ever trusted the Republican machine to do what's right. Patty was different, she wasn't hand picked by the County Party to take they seat liek they have always done with the Barclays, she earned her spot by knocking on doors and talking to the Real working people. Now she has cast all of our trust aside and is feeding off the tits of the Republican machine. I now remember over the winter when she appointed this Holly Carpenter woman to run her local staff that she had voted to lower her own taxes when she was in government in Fulton while everyone else's taxes rose. What are we to do now? Our representative has sold out and I fear that if she doesn't set this right she will never come back as a REAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TAXPAYERS, she'll be all regal like Jim Wright, Darrel or the Barclays and spend her days in Albany on her thrown telling us what we can and can't do.
Please Patty Ritchie make your employees pay the fines and fire that wench Holly Carpenter!

Give the People Osama's Body
As everyone has heard, Osama Bin Laden has finally been brought to justice by a team of Navy SEALs and special forces. Sunday was one of the great days in American history, we beat the bad guy and now the world know that the US is not a country they can attack without serious backlash.
One thing really rubs me the wrong way about the whole thing, actually two things. The first is the President's apolagetic attitude about the whole thing, "this is not a war on Musilims, its a war on extremists." Well I got news Mr. President nows not the time for that, now is the time for saying "fuck you bad guys NEVER AGAIN will you attack American soil because of our freedoms. And then Bin Shotted's Muslim burial at see, it simply wasn't the right thing to do. We should hav brought it back here for every American who watched the TV on 9/11 to spit on. There is no reason we should have given that body any respect because now he's gonna get his 40 virgins or whatever because he died like a marter.
Well I was thinking about how our government could make it right for Americans and give us the closure we need. I saw that they had a $27 Million bounty on his head, what better way to spend that money than to lift his body from the rest of the ocean and then splitting the rest of it among the Heroes who killed him. That's why I want Patty Ritchie, as a Senator from New York where 9/11 happened to pass a bill that will spend the money that way and make sure that no Arab Muslims in Pakistan get any of that money for calling some hotline. Thius is the type of thing Patty Ritchie needs to get on quick because that body is going to rot and get eaten and we need to make sure that it does not get any respect at all!

Another Small Business Closes
This story is sad and is another sign of the state of Oswego County. What I think is the only record store in the County (maybe, I don't exactly frequent these places) is closing today and the owner is apparently going to be homeless because he lives there. Record stores have there own problems, I don't think my kids have ever been to one and I haven't set foot in one in at least 15 years, but it's sad to see Oswego County completely pull away from an industry like it is doing today.
The solution to the problem is tax rates, at the State level we need to cut taxes, cut taxes and cut taxes so that our small businesses can survive in down times, which are here for the long term as businesses like Birdseye flee the area, and more people lose their income or choose to go on Unemployment. That's why Patty Ritchie and her colleagues need to zero out small business taxes for the coming year at least until the employment rate is what it used to be, make cuts to next year's welfare, unemployment and Medicaid because if Small Businesses are able to make it through this downturn, they will be able to hire again and welfare, unemployment and Medicaid will be irrelevant.
Its too late for Mr. Webb and his store, but there are other small business sectors that Oswego County has that are locally owned and operated: construction, grocery stores, drug stores, etc. that don't need to be killed by taxes.

Fight for the REAL Working Families
Even though the State has passed the budget, for some reason the Governor and Legislature have 2 more moths left to effect how we live in New York. With all that free time it makes me nervous what a guy like Cuomo could do. I'm also pretty uneasy about how the Long Island and New York City Republican Senators and the remaining democrats could probably get together and force upstate to keep paying the majority of this State's bills.
I keep hearing about gay marriagew this and civil union that on blogs and in papers, but I hear nothing about a local tax cap. The State already caved on cutting education fundign like they orginaly said they were going to and spent some $200 Million more than they were going to which was still to high and not one person, not one said if we are gonna tax give all this money to school's why don't we make sure they won't raise there taxes this year. Last year I even gotta letter from the last guy and his evil Democratic bosses aying they wanted to do it. This year nothing.
What I keep hearing though is that New York wants to legalize gay marriage. This will not create one single job Upstate, you know why? because there aren't gay people here, I do not know one single gay person, not that I work with, not that goes ot MY church, not that teaches my kids or serves me beer. You know where they all do live manhaten. This is just another ploy to boost business downstate, while saying that my loving marriage to my third wife is equal to their sinful lifestyle and are State not only officialy agrees but they say I should feel ashamed about my opinion.
I know Patty Ritchie won't sell my family out, I would not have supported her in the fall if I knew she was going to extremes that not even the donkey before her went to. What has me worried is that she is apparently close to that DEDEDE the RINO Queen who is all for this. I know she will spend the remainder of her term making life better for Upstate, not ignoring our needs and troubles for "feel good" downstate "civil rights" campaigns. That is all a load of shit so bad and you know it and I know it that none of us are effected by any of it.

A Win for the Children
From what I read this is Patty's 3rd triumph over government regulations in this state after the new license plates, which she outlawed or something and food safety. Now the mrs. can put what I want in the food when its our family's turn to bring food to school functions and my kid can fight how he wants to at school. Thank you Patty for shutting these fools and their rules down.
Now lets have a win for the adults. Lets get down to job creastion the way we should by deregulating and untaxing everything in New York. Lets stop making employers buy insurance for their employees or lets repeal Obamacare, we can't have people creating jobs in New York if the workers keep taking from profits, costs will go down when people have to pay for it themselves. Cut the tax rate for businesses and all earners, make all welfare mothers take drug tests, kick failing students out of public schools so that I don't have to pay school taxes for their dumb 15 year old ass to be babysat, cut teacher pay, make all state retirees pay taxes on their income and stop letting new people into the program. We have to be a state that makes stuff again or every company is going to go the way of Birdseye, to places where the bosses are leaders not the worker.

Way to stick it to the MSM!!
I just saw on Newzjunky that Senator Patty Ritchie will shove it hard down the Mainstream Media elites' throats by appearing on Fox News today at 11:30. What had been a slow work week, not many people are upgrading their Central Air systems in April, especially not given our county's unemployment rate and fuel prices, has delivered a pretty decent afternoon for myself. According to the link, she will be discussing her war on imasculating our children. This is exactly the type of no nonsense, common sense fighting we need from our representatives, give 'em hell Patty!
From what I understand the state wants to outlaw red rover on playgrounds. I find that interesting because when my boy was playing kickball in the park 5 years back, I tried convincing him and the other kids to start running at each other and tackling (just like red rover) and quit paying pussy soccer-baseball, some other parents didn't like what I was doing and the cops were called. Well guess what Nanny State, it wasn't even illegal and with representation like Patty, its never gonna be illegal. Kids should be playing rough games from an earlier age, this is why the NFL isn't filled with white guys from the North like it used to be, we've stopped teaching our kids to be tough and our culture is paying a price for it. From an early age I've taught my kid to be tough like a man, other parents, teachers and the State didn't agree but Patty sure as hell agrees with how I parent and our kids' rights to pound the snot out of each other.
This is exactly what Patty should be fighting for because if we are ver going to make stuff again, we need tough kids who won't be afraid to work in a factory without having benefits or who demand going to college despite the fact that they're dumb as shit, like most of them are. This isn't stimulus this is long-term job growth, thank you for fighting for us and for giving the MSM the 1-2 by going to Fox News instead of: The Post Standard, The Pall-Times, The Watertown Daily Times, The Valley News, The Ogdensburg Journal, Oswego County Today, Channels 3, 5, 9 and 10 down here, WRVO, WSYR or any other local MSM, the people you really represent only get their news on Fox News and blogs, you're doing the right thing. They won't try and get around the point of what you're doing like everyone else will by asking things like what are you doing to improve joblessness in your district? when are you holding meetings about that plant that's leaving your district? or incredible liberal nonsense liek "why are you cutting education funding when your region is so reliant on it and letting the top tax rate expire?" We all know the answer to all of those - that's irresponsible.
